This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...for a 900-ton factory, and cost about $80,000 in that country. All calculations made, it is estimated that even if the dried cossettes sell for $2 a ton the daily profits will be $200. The daily consumption of coal is about 100 pounds per ton of beets handled at the factory. In this steam method there is no danger of the residuum being burned by overheating, as is frequently the case by other modes of drying. It is claimed that nearly all the dry substances contained in the original beet are to be found in the final dried residuum (?), averaging 90 per cent. dry substances. The residuum cossettes, after being pressed in a Klusemann or Bergreen press are carried by a moving apron and emptied into a trough with revolving horizontal agitators, and heated with exhaust steam circulating in a jacket. The residuum is kept for a considerable time at a temperature of 40 to 45 C, and is subsequently run into special presses very much of the same design as Klusemann. To each press there is attached an apparatus not unlike a meat chopper in its general construction, and after this subdivision of the fibre, the residuum is carried by an endless screw to the dryers, each of which is about 5 feet Fig. 21. wide, 18 feet long and 15 feet high. In its interior are four horizontal troughs, placed one over the other, each of whieh has a steam jacket. In each trough is a rotating, horizontal, tubular cluster, G, through which steam circulates, consequently the hashed cossettes are heated in the troughs and also heated during their rotating motion. The product being dried falls successively from one trough to another and circulates the entire length of each. When the dried cossettes finally leave the apparatus, another rotating device, in which there is no air, helps the emptyin...
